morning update.

曲：Take This Heart - Richard Marx
i like the time in the morning before i have to go to school. unfortunately ashley always has lessons before i start so she always has to rush off before me. but that gives me some sort of time to settle down and prepare for the day's lessons, which unfortunately for me ends at 4 today. but its french at the last lesson! i have HG101 to get through for the first three hours first.
havent had the time to update, or to write about anything. basically lack of sleep, long nights, but somehow still going through the paces well because ive trained my butt to withstand the long hours it spends on the chair at the desk.
learning a new language is always fun; french takes a lot of memory, and a LOT of work on the pronunciation. but yannick rocks my socks, and if it werent a sever invasion of privacy, i would have posted his picture up here so everyone knows why i think he's cute. endearing, really. claire (KLAIREHH, the french way) and nan just cnt stop laughing when i say he's cute.
mia and aretha have started school too, so has aun, and qii. i saw william's facebook account just now, and suddenly i missed him, because he represented a period in my life where i didnt have so much things to worry about. i think he hasnt looked happy in a while now, so that picture of him on facebook with him smiling like that put me at ease immediately. and it made me miss hotel times.
i have to get ready for class, =)

曲: キセキ - GReeeeN
for the first time in my three weeks here in hall i have gone into the toilet to find both shower cubicles occupied, so here i am, being chased back into my own room, and with nothing to do, am sitting here and thinking about what i can update you people about. you know the whole feeling of gg into a toilet only to realise you cannot bathe because two friends decide they want to bathe together at the same time, thus taking up BOTH cubicles? okay, im rambling. obviously im a bit buay song, only because someone with her door open saw me walk past her room with shower stuff and walking back in the other direction 1 minute later without looking like ive bathed. its embarassing.
but oh well, we have to make concessions here and there, i guess. i just love watching arashi programmes after a long time of not watching, because they just keep making me laugh.
LMS night is so happening this friday, i cnt wait..
*edit
have bathed and am now continuing my blog. as i was saying, lms night is so happening this friday, and i hope we can all have like good food and good music and enjoy good company. should be a night of relaxing fun, in a way. =)
im gg to have a relaxing night today, i dont care.
and tts why im taking three freaking hours to type this entry.
velda.
one year on.

sometimes i get angry with dy, because he didnt listen to me, or his reaction to my comment disagreed with my idea of how he should react to me, or something stupid like tt. but dy has changed too, he's become more voluble in trying to make me see sense. in the past he will get angry at himself for making me angry, but now in addition to tt, he will try to stop me from making mountains out of molehills, which is, seriously, what i tend to do when im in one of my tantrums.
one year on, ive learned that this relationship is not just about me and him. its about us, and the ppl around us.
one year on, ive realised that its about the five years on, and the ten years on, and so on.
one year on, its about the quality of the company, not the quantity.
and one year on, i think i know what i want. from myself, and from us.
it doesnt just take one year to know a person inside out. it takes effort, and it takes disappointment, anger, frustration, and tears. but when you turn our head, and you see him still walking beside you to catch you when you fall, you'd think of how blessed you are. and that's what im thinking now. that no matter what i do, he just accepts me for who i am. and for that, i am truly thankful.

曲：Aren't You Glad - 陳奕迅
1408. what a tiring day it was today. dy was the sweetest guy ever, he asked zixuan to send some flowers up to me last night. =) and because my day today ended at 12am, i couldnt call dy at all. =( oh well. its the last day of the week tomorrow! and i have a packed weekend, no surprise.
but im really tired now, so im just waiting for my hair to dry before i can just faint in bed.
japanese placement test was harder than i thought; i realised i cannot write kanji anymore a little too late. goodness. ive taken kanji for granted! ahhh. i cnt even rmb the kanji for shuppatsu lah.
出発出発出発!! now i can write it beautifully because my mac has been typing it for me for many many years now. damn. i need to start practising again i i plan to improve on my japanese standard at all. HG234 was killer for both tutorial AND lecture today, kill meeee~ but it was fun, ultimately speaking, when we finally arrive at the answer.
okay, totally unable to think straight now. sleep.
velda.
looong weekend.

曲：然後怎樣 - 陳奕迅
the new album by eason chan seems good. heard its introduction by the 933 djs and they played some songs in the album - so eason, yet fresh and original. this song's great - if anyone wants it, please do ask me, play it till the end, you'll hear the demo version with just the piano - super hao ting. haha.
im back at hall after a long weekend - somehow it seems long because even though it was rather relaxing, there was olympics opening ceremony, ndp, supper with dre and botak darryn, time spent with dy, cake-making with vance, team singapore chasing, and finally, lunch with hebe ppl at sizzler for thong seng's birthday. phew.
that's sookieching being excited in thong seng's car. wahh both of us and jenny included were damn psyched that the front of the honda edix could sit three people.
school starts full swing from tomorrow onwards; i have tutorials to prepare, and the lms party to plan. kind of looking forward to it, school, havent really put my brain to use in a few months now. everytime im sitting at my desk in hall i always feel its time to really sit down and study. haha. i do like the hall quite a bit, though i love my room at home as well. sometimes i just feel its a great feeling to have a place to be sort of alone and think about schoolwork. at home i can never set my heart to study, there are too many distractions.
not tt there aren't any distractions now - haha. dinner meetings plus mahjong breaks coming up soon. =) and the olympics - oh man. i want to watchhh! i deliberately left my departure from home today a little later to watch tao li in the 100m fly final. my heart was beating as fast as it could go man. i think the youth olympics would be doubly exciting especially when its gg to be hosted here.

曲：Let's Start From Here - Joanna Wang
i wasnt planning on updating so soon after my previous post, but i thought i wanted to show whoever's interested how my hall room looks. =) im back home, as in home home, as its the olympics and national day weekend. and darryn's booking out for the first time, plus andy also booking out from tekong. home is really the best, you can shit and sleep in peace, and not worry about live firing from the forest opposite hall. haha!
but anws, this is my hall 12 room. please visit me whenever you can, not tt im super hospitable or what, but its a nice comforting room, if you can make it up the 4 flights of steps to the sixth floor. heh.
the place where i spend most of my time at, in the morning before school, and after i come back from lectures or dinner outside - the desk. mum and i spent a whole evening putting up the sticky board and wallpaper on the softboard wall so i can paste up all my notices. i think i did make it quite conducive, didnt i? the table's a bit messy, but i wanted to show you all how its like usually, not something unnaturally clean. there's my cookie jar of digestive biscuits in the top right corner, mummy was like, want to put biscuits must put in cute cookie jar mah. haha. so we bought one from ikea. i got the side of the room nearer to the window, which is nice as well, i love it in the morning when the morning light comes in. our room isnt facing the sun as well, so its blessedly cool in the morning.
my chocolate bed! everyone who comes into our room comments about my bed. chocolate bedsheets are super cute, i think. i prefer solid colours if i have to decorate my bedroom by myself, and i thought chocolate was a cooler colour than anything pastel. yoshi's on the bed with my NEW! bag, my pyjamas, and my ds. the pillow's at the foot of the bed, haha.
this is a picture i took at home. suiyi sent me the incase hardshell case for macbook 13" i have been wanting for ages!! its not the red i liked, but black was my second choice, and it fits my macbook perfectly. super nice to touch, damn good quality. but amazingly, unavailable in singapore. =( so suiyi promised to buy me one as a present, and it came via registered mail yesterday. so pretty right! super nice to touch summore.
now jess is complaining i havent emailed her. must go and think think of what to email liao.

曲：いま愛を語ろう - 嵐
one of my favourite songs from arashi. =) sho's rap was super cool, and everything about it, really. i rmb listening to this song like over and over again in sec 3? 2? and loving every bit of it. now when it suddenly plays on my itunes i suddenly rmb how much it used to be on replay in my discman.
went to marina with qii today.. her hairstylist make me gian to keep my hair long and perm it japanese style. its something ive always wanted to try but never dared to. then he said i would fit tt hairstyle. even if it was hairdresser talk for please spend money in my salon, i fell for it. so i might try it. like one day. when the hair grows longer. hee. huiqi cut a cool hairstyle today; picture below. she said i very gek chio in this pic, but i think chio ish good. HAHA.
huiqi and her funky hairstyle and the gek chio me
lectures have been good, though sometimes a lot of new terms go over the top of your head, but like prof bee says, everytime you start learning something new, you're bound to find new words. so its good, of course, to not understand words like semantics and morphology and phonology.
and i love japanese food. i think i havent had enough of them, more tempura and chawanmushi and the whatnot with huiqi today. or maybe it was because i was really effing hungry today.
ashley's asleep, and im trying to type as softly as possible. national day weekend yay! and olympics olympics yippee! its gg to be an exciting weekend. but first i have to get through two more lectures tmr with a flu still in my system.

曲：Ode To My Family - The Cranberries
school day 1 - lectures were interesting, really glad i chose this as a major because i really enjoy learning whats being taught in lecture/s today, about bilingualism, and about globalisation. i think there's a lot i need to research about, or to just read up on, its quite exciting, actually. classmates rock, everyone's really nice, and lms as a whole, everyone's super excited about languages and linguistics in general. which is whoopee.
the room's looking really nice now, now tt ashley's moved in. and even though its a chore to climb up 6 levels everyday, its quieter up here on the sixth level, and there's less ppl. we have nice neighbours! rajes and siva; i spent last night sitting in their room slacking. somehow nights are nice to spend inside ur room, and just enjoying the peace and quiet while reading a linguistics text. i understand now why johnho says i would love ANU if i had gone. imagine that!
dy's gone backkk into the forests of tekong until wednesday, so i wont see him till friday. its national day week, for goodness sake, let the guys off.
okay, i have like typed this entry for almost two hours because keep breaking off to do stuff. haha.
add/drop tmr. i want my japaneseeee.. mai anee kuan leh.
